Early Season News

April 4, 2019 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

The start of the season is definitely here. Early season insects have already been encountered. Lots of minor bees and the start of the bumblebees.

I’ve even had 2 calls for extremely early season wasps. The first was called in by a customer who stands at his back gate smoking and he could see the active queen coming and going from a hole in his roof. She will be feeding her first batch of young and increasing the nest size. A quick blast of dust removed it for the customer so it didn’t become a full sized nest.

Second was a customer who had an old nest in the roof space and didn’t want to remove it themself. After removing the old nest I had a quick look round and found a new nest with queen sitting next to it. It will have turned in to a large active next by the Summer. Good to get it done now.

The photo shows the small start of the season nest with a queen wasp sitting next to it.

A Very Large and Explosive Nest in Seaforth

September 16, 2015 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

wasps going crazy pest control liverpool

When treating a wasp nest it is never known how explosive the reaction will be. Most nests will react strongly with a small number of extremely aggressive individuals. Some nests like this one literally explode with all the individuals highly aggressive.

It is probably due to factors such as ambient temperature and dust penetration/nest destruction.

If you ever attempt doing wasp nests yourself it is best to do them in the night time. Make sure you know exactly where the entrance hole is and treat using a dust. Wasps are cold in the night and don’t see well in the dark so there is practically no reaction.

If you wish to have us do it for you follow the links below.

A Scary Find in the Shed

September 7, 2015 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

pest control liverpool - merseypest - wasp in draws

A customer was luckily alerted to a stream of wasps going in and out of their shed. They called us to deal with it once they had peered through the shed window to see the wasps going in to a set of draws in the shed.

It could of been a very nasty surprise if the shed or draws were opened and the home owner wasn’t aware of the wasp nest hidden in the draws.

The worst case of a hidden nest by one of our customers was tucked in a folded sun lounger. She was badly stung multiple times around the face and neck.

An ex colleague once was caught out treating squirrels in a roof space. Pulling up insulation looking for the squirrels dray (nest) he unfortunately tore a nest apart. He was stung 27 times around the face. His daughter didn’t even recognise him in the hospital.

Wasps are certainly an animal not to be messed with!

Average Size Nest for this time of Year

September 3, 2015 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

pest control liverpool

People often ask if their wasp nest is large compared to others. There are many things that affect nest size.

The most important thing is food availability. With low numbers of prey animals in an area wasps will not do as well as another nest that has an abundance of insect prey.

The nests location also affects how well the wasps will do. A nest in a tree or conifer often will not be as big as a nest in a roof space. The nest in the roof has the advantage of warmth from the house and its insulation.

The nest shown above was a nest that was treated in Northwich yesterday. It is a fairly average nest that would be found in a roof space at this time of year. Some can however be much bigger or much smaller.

Late Wasps

November 21, 2014 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

pest control liverpool late wasps

Wasp call outs are getting less as Winter approaches but there still active when its warm enough. On colder days the wasps are unable to fly out of the nest but they still try and work for the good of the nest. They come walking out of the nest and become trapped in the void where the nest was built. Often they will find a crack of light and squeeze through hoping to get outside. Often it will take them in to someones bedroom.

More wasps. This time the customer had been having her utility room fill with them as there was a hole in the internal part of the ceiling allowing wasps to become trapped. Luckily she had not been stung.
